I will miss my coworkers the most at Paradise!The good thingsI really enjoyed working here on my WHV and would recommend to anyone looking for a casual job in Surfer’s Paradise! The team in the Food and Beverage (really all over, honestly!) is great here. Really awesome coworkers, a fun group to be around, and good support from management. I really think the F&B management team here does a good job of supporting staff but not micromanaging! All my coworkers, FOH, BOH, and management were always willing to help, no matter what the task was. I will miss working here, for sure!
The challengesI was hired as a barista but ended up working just as many food and beverage attendant shifts. At first it was frustrating because I wanted to make coffees, but once the crew got used to me, I was able to have fun working in every position, and it was kind of nice not doing the same job every day. But I just want it to be clearer from management when you’re hired that you’re going to be expected to do a wide variety of jobs and tasks, and not just what you think you were hired for. Bartenders don’t just make drinks, same for baristas, every job that needs to get done gets done by everyone here.
